Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Casio EX-ZR1000 is 36g lighter than the Canon SX160 IS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX160 IS nor Casio Exilim EX-ZR1000 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon SX160 IS and Casio EX-ZR1000's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Casio EX-ZR1000 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Canon SX160 IS has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to EX-ZR1000.
